Quotes
I have always been the one with no voice, the one who is not heard. I am the one who is not seen.
I want to be a person who is seen and heard.
I know I am not wanted, I am not loved, and I am not needed.
I am not a person to him. I am not a girl. I am not a boy. I am nothing.
I want to be the kind of person who matters to someone.
I am the ghost in the hallway.
I am tired of being invisible.
I can't let anyone see me cry.
I want to be a person, not a piece of furniture.
I am tired of being a shadow among the living.
I am the silent observer, the unwanted witness.
I am tired of being spoken around, spoken over, spoken for, spoken past.
